A Saturday Challenge..

I know, I know, it's been far too long since my last post. Apologies all round and a new promise that I will try to be here more often. I just don't know where the time goes these days!

The live TV show on Create and Craft went pretty well last Tuesday..you would have never known I'd had about 10 mins with the pink Bind it All machine before I demonstrated it. It has a few new gizmos on it compared with my blue version but I think I got away with it. hehe!! Thank you to everyone who watched and then sent me such kind emails for when I got home. I really appreciate you getting in contact and I love to hear what you thought and what else you would like to see on future Funky Hand products. It gives me inspiration !

Ian and I have lots of very big plans for later in the year and they are all starting to come together now so, hopefully there will be interesting things ahead...

Anyway today I decided that I wanted to craft. I needed to make a birthday card for Ians sister Sandi so I thought I'd join in with the challenge over on the Penny Black Saturday Challenge Blog. I have to admit I don't own many Penny Black stamps, though I do like them I don't get much time for stamping lately so I don't buy as many as I used to. Anyway a little while ago all my Funky Hand Design Team members had a image swap so I got some lovely Penny Black stamped images from Kath so I decided to use one of those for this weeks challenge. Blooming Gorgeous !



It's not too easy to get a decent picture when you are using an acetate card blank but hopefully you get the idea ! I also used my new set of nesties dies that I treated myself to from Craft Obsessions last week. Here's the back view!



The papers are from my CD Funky Word Books, just to show you that you don't only need to make Word Book cards with it!

Right I best get off and see what else I can get done in my craftroom. A bit of a tidy up wouldn't go a miss actually but..I don't think I'm in the mood for that today!!

  7. Wonderful card, Anice.. and wonderful TV show! I wasn't able to see it live, but have caught the recorded version on C&C.. Grea job! And the DT did amazing work on the samples!

    I still want a copy of the Word Books CD, but my employers failed to give me my payrise again this month (this was agreed in MARCH!!.. Grrrr!), so have been a bit short again. Still, I have it in writing that I will get my back pay this month, so I WILL be on your website with my order come pay-day, I promise!

    I'm sure it is selling like hotcakes. Hope you'll have one or two left at the end of the month!! ;o)

    Hugs,
    Chris xx
